The first principle of administering education according to law is the principle of socialist orientation of education. Adhering to the orientation of socialist education is a basic principle that must always be implemented in China's educational work.

Managing education according to law means managing education according to law and standardizing educational behavior. In other words, on the basis of socialist democracy, education will gradually embark on the track of legalization and standardization.

Specifically, it is to use laws to regulate educational management activities, coordinate educational relations, guide educational activities, solve educational contradictions, protect the legitimate rights and interests of schools and teachers and students, and promote the healthy and rapid development of education.

The contents of administering education according to law mainly include education legislation, education popularization, education law enforcement, education judicature, education law-abiding, education legal supervision and education legal relief. Among them, administration according to law and running schools according to law are the core embodiment of managing education according to law.

Once the law is promulgated, it should be put into practice. Education law enforcement is the key to the implementation of education law. The relevant state organs shall apply educational laws and regulations in accordance with the statutory authority and procedures, and administer according to law. Educational administrative law enforcement mainly includes educational administrative measures, educational administrative punishment, educational administrative coercion and other forms.

Managing education according to law requires giving full play to the role of judicial organs in solving educational disputes and sanctioning illegal acts. Judicial organs should seriously investigate and deal with cases of illegal education, use judicial means to solve educational disputes reasonably and fairly, sanction illegal acts, supervise specific administrative acts of educational administrative organs, and ensure that laws are strictly observed and violators are prosecuted.

Efficient education law enforcement team:

After the law is enacted, whether it can be fully implemented is directly related to the professional quality, moral quality, work attitude and ability of law enforcement personnel. The quality of law enforcement personnel in education is the key to administering education according to law.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish a perfect system of legal training, assessment and certificates for administrative law enforcement personnel and government workers, continuously improve the political quality and professional level of administrative law enforcement personnel, and build an educational law enforcement team with high legal literacy, excellent quality and fair law enforcement.
